As our founder @carolibe1.bsky.social said: “AGRIIP is more than a project — it’s a movement. One that sees Africa not as a landscape of challenges, but as a land full of opportunities.”

The event marked 10 years of our work & the launch of AGRIIP — a bold movement connecting African scientists & farmers to co-create climate-smart, farmer-led solutions. From expert panels to the new JR Biotek Art Gallery & the first-ever JR Biotek Awards — this day was powerful and full of meaning.

There’s so much to reflect on here. Read about our Roots of Resilience 2025 and the inaugural @jrbiotek.bsky.social JR Biotek Awards, where we celebrated the individuals and institutions driving our mission forward. More exciting announcements coming soon!

Fascinating and inspiring to hear about the work of @jrbiotek.bsky.social yesterday at @uniofcam.bsky.social
- their decade of work towards food security, building a network of African plant scientists and innovators. Food for thought! #AfricaResearch🌱

Incredible to see Beakal’s journey!

First met him during @jrbiotek.bsky.social 2019 training in Benin & his brilliance was undeniable. Now, he’s driving drought-tolerant Tef research & making a real impact in African agri-space. So proud to see how JR Biotek continues to empower African scientists

Real Impact, Real People, Real Change!

100 African scientists & 3,000 farmers collaborating on real-world solutions for food security & sustainability Let’s make it happen!

💙 Donate & share today! Every bit helps.

A great honour to work with the amazing @tobykiers.bsky.social @bethanfmanley.bsky.social and team.

Love it. Thanks for the mention.

10 years ago, I travelled alone to deliver this hands-on molecular biology training workshop in collab with IITA, Nigeria. It was daunting but it shaped my career vision (in plant sciences) & carved a niche for JR Biotek Foundation & its initiatives. We're excited to celebrate with partners in March

I'm so excited about this milestone event & the official launch of AGRIIP, a demand-driven initiative bringing African scientists & innovators, farmers & multistakeholders to co-create resilient, food-secure communities. Together, we can.

Thanks to all our partners & supporters. More to follow.

A significant milestone! So grateful & excited to soon formalise some of our long-term collaborations with committed partners in Africa & elsewhere to achieve our 2030 strategic vision! "Transform agriculture, transform lives!" We're ready! jrbiotekfoundation.org #FoodSecurity

Excited and looking forward to launching
@jrbiotek.bsky.social innovative project, which brings together 100 African scientists to co-develop climate-resilient solutions for smallholder farmers in West Africa. Learn more www.jrbiotekfoundation.org. #climate #sustainability #FoodSecurity
